Winter wonderland

This is what winter should look like. Will not complain over the cold or traffic or having to dig out my car five times a day - this weather is awesome.  Some amazing food at restaurant 'Salt'. The octopus!! And equally as much the Eton Mess cake and Gorgonzola cheesecake One saturday morning had a huge mock trial in criminal law as the last examination in that subject. I was a prosecutor so had to do tons of research, write speeches, present them, submit evidence and cross-examine witnesses. I think I haven't been that nervous in a long time than the evening/night before the exam. It was held in an actual courthouse before a judge. We had to also find people to play our witnesses. Thanks again Ingrid for being an excellent - a bit senile but with an exceptional sense of smell - nosy neighbour. Our accused person was awesomely believable as well. All in all the process lasted almost 3 hours and luckily the nerves calmed do...

Holiday mashup

White Gospel. I love gospel music. Also, I've been singing (literally) half my life and still often miss it, that's why I sing along to radio while driving aaalll the time at the top of my lungs. Keius 27th! Work celebrations with our self-made goodies. Köögilaboratoorium - great place for holding events.   Estonian Voices - such a cool bunch of musicians!   Wonderfully warm and lovely evening with our dance studio.  My two sleepy lovelies! Sophie's new friend and playmate Blacky   Cheesecake truffles and 'vana-tallinn' truffles puff-pastry dough, pesto sauce and cheese! Voila, a christmas-tree. Family time at restaurant Rae .  May 2016 come more peaceful and hopeful than 2015. 

A long overdue bits and pieces

“I love experienced people. I love people who are phenomenally talented. I love people who’ve worked so hard and been so courageous and are the leaders in their fields. For me to meet somebody like that and learn from them and share words with them—to me that’s magic.” – Michael Jackson, on filming The Wiz

United Arab Emirates

Dubai is a weird mixture of western and arabic, rich and poor, liberal and religious. It kind of hit me when I was walking through the + world’s biggest mall” - a huge, luxurious shopping centre and suddenly the traditional prayer call sounded loudly from all the speakers. There was a mosque behind our hotel as well, the morning prayer served as a wake up call quite often.

My favourite holiday! I'm glad it's being celebrated more and more in Estonia too.

Poland vol 2

Another 600 km to drive to Krakow from Berlin. We were up for an early start, but in our search for some art galleries and with the universe definitely not on our side that morning, we left Berlin around half past 1 pm.   Wroclaw - Krakow - Zakrzovek

Berlin, Germany

I had never been to Berlin, as I've never really given Germany a chance. Berlin changed my mind, it's awesome!

Lomza – Warsaw – Poznan – Rzepin

Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania

Our dearest Clair came to see us from Australia, which requires celebrations. Demonstrated her some Estonian customs including Sauna, home-made wines and votka, fresh berries from the garden, "kama" and more our so called "traditional" foods we didn't make her try already in Aussie. Explored old town together like proper tourists and headed out of town to a euro-trip.  Keiu's dads homemade wine selections Clair brought Bundyyyyyy First stop Salacgrīva, Latvia and Positivus festival. A definite must-have for every summer ! Got lucky with the weather, shared so much laughs and enjoyed the artists, what a bunch of great talent again. Was really looking forward for "Everything Everything", "Tom Odell" and "Placebo " and needless to say our own "Ewert and the Two Dragons" - none didn't disappoint. "Robert Plant and the Sensational Spaceshifters", "Charli XCX" and...
